“Pop-up” party at the POP Gallery, diagonally across the street from me. The lighting is as it was – very red. Well attended and they were buying. Serving wine and caviar dip. Classy!

Snow removal the old-fashioned way on Main Street
The snow clearing crews have done a fantastic job, and have worked practically around the clock. Still, people on Main Street had to get out last Sunday to make their storefronts accessible. They carved narrow pathways along the sidewalk, which were used by people like me who were out for the Chocolate Tour.

Instagramming the Chocolate Tour
On Sunday afternoon, after baptizing five beautiful little babies, I ran out to do the Main Street chocolate tour! I Instagrammed my way from store to store, savoring the variety of chocolate offerings and getting heart stickers, signatures, and fancy checkmarks on my chocolate tour map. I didn’t win the gift certificate, but I had a great time!
Don’t miss the next one!

Trick-or-Treat on Main Street From Fred Bodin at Bodin Historic Photo!
I always have Halloween treats in the gallery for the little trick-or-treaters and their parents, who are often my customers. Older spooks and goblins come in later, and the Main Street dinner crowd arrives in the evening, when I might offer wine and cheese.

Wedding Vows on Main Street? From Fred Bodin
Fred Bodin writes-
No, the bride and groom are following their photographer to have pictures taken in the beautiful and historic West End, Gloucester last Saturday afternoon. I didn’t recognize anyone. They had a very large white stretch Limo in Palazola’s parking lot, and when they tried to leave, it was too big to turn around. Jack Palazola kindly unlocked the chain on the Main Street side, so they could escape and proceed with their reception and honeymoon. I heard from Brenda Grimes Davis on my FB Page, that she may know the Gloucester couple, and I offered to share the photo with them.

Elizabeth Gauthier Gallery
During the block party, I discovered that a new gallery has opened on Main Street! The sign isn’t up yet, but it showcases the work (in several different artistic media) of Elizabeth Gauthier – hence, the name “Gauthier Gallery.”
The gallery mostly contains her own work, but also some work by her sister. Besides oil and acrylic paintings, she paints custom t-shirts!
Is that cool or what? Here is the artist with some of her work:
During our conversation, she mentioned that she plans on teaching as well as doing her own paintings. As I mentioned before, her sign isn’t up yet, but the gallery is actually on Main Street in Gloucester, between Sal’s Barber Shop and the Compass Rose tattoo place (right in the middle of the photo below):

HarborWalk Comes to the West End of Main Street Gloucester MA
Fred Bodin writes-
Sean Marler from Mystic Scenic Studios levels the top of a Story Moment marker on Main Street in front of the Sargent Murray Gllman House. Sean estimates there are about eight more markers left to install signage on.
The narrative sign with smart phone QR code is then epoxied and bolted to the granite marker. The post card shows Main Street and Gray’s Hardware on the left, which I wrote about on GMG in September 2011. All I need now is a smart phone!
